Students will bring home a book from their reading book box in their reading bag for their 15-20 minutes of reading each night. This is to ensure that every child is reading at his/her "just right" level. It is very important that all students return their reading bags with their book, reader's response notebook, and teacher tips book DAILY!! Therefore, students can continue recording responses and reading the same book during the reading workshop, or choose a new book from their reading book box to bring home. A response is not required every night, but students should try to record responses at least 2-3 times a week. All students will log their reading at school. The teacher tips book is very important for your child to be reviewing at school and at home to aid him/her in reading strategies while reading.
